Today we closed on our home in bay area and I have to say that it would have been impossible without Amar and Sri. We literally put an offer on a house in just two weeks and then closed within a month. People take years to find and buy a house in bay area. In our case Amar was able to put an offer on the house even before it came on market and that helped us skip the bidding war. He was also able to get the price down by 15K which is unheard of in bay area. All credit goes to his negation skills and offer strategy. Both Amar and Sri understood our needs and budget in just one meeting. They are on top of everything and we never ever had to send any kind of follow-up emails. He also helped us with mortgage lenders and pre-approval process. So if anyone want to buy a house in bay area then Amar is the best Realtor® you can ever get!

First and the foremost, I would like thank Amar from the bottom of my heart for helping us with our Home buying experience. My wife and I moved to the Bay area in California a few years ago. Since then, we have been renting apartments at different places. Quite recently, we realised it would be nice to have a spacious home of our own, that way we can start creating memories. We started to explore for the perfect Realtor® who will suit our requirements. Through my wife’s family, we got introduced to Amar. The first time we met Amar, He outlined the House buying process and understood our requirements well. Amar make our dream come true in less than a week. The very next day following the day we met him, we started receiving emails from Sri (Amar’s wife) and Amar regarding the listings in the neighbourhood we had requested for. My wife and I short listed and with the help of Sri, we checked the first home of our interest. Meanwhile, Amar and Sri suggested we get the pre-approval for our loan from the Bank. We did accordingly. With the pre-approval we were all set to look for our perfect home. As this was our very first home visit, we had yen number of questions. Sri and Amar patiently answered all our queries and cleared our doubts. Amar and Sri gave us lot of valuable suggestions and advised us to proceed with this property and put an offer on the house. Further, Amar also suggested we place an offer for 10k lesser than the listed price. We did accordingly and that was the night of Thursday. Kudos to Amar and Sri’s excellent negotiation skills! They were able to impeccably sense the pulse of the seller and we got our offer accepted on the morning of Saturday with no counter offer. It was a joyous moment for all of us and we couldn’t thank Amar enough. We proceeded with the inspection on the house and it took about a couple of days for that to get done. Amar promptly sent us the inspection reports and set up a conference call with us to explain us each line mentioned in the report with great detail. I don’t know if other Realtors® take so much trouble and go to this extent of sitting down with you and baby you with so much care. Once we discussed the report and the expenses that followed, we came to understand that there were some immediate expenses that needed to be taken care of it. My wife and I were in dilemma if we had enough funds to bear the immediate expenses on the house. He calmly listened to our concerns and believe it or not, the next day we heard the news from Sri that Amar had negotiated with the seller and made them agree to pay for the initial expenses on the house. My wife and I were speechless on hearing this news. Amar never ceases to amaze us! We thanked him profusely for his absolutely selfless and dedicated effort. We are the proud home owners. Thanks to Amar and his team for walking us through our home buying experience in California and making our dreams come true.

First of all, I want to start with a BIG THANK YOU note to Amar & Team for getting us a wonderful home. This was our first home buying experience and Amar and his team made it a pretty great one. Amar was the initiator and he explained to me how this whole process works and what his strategy is. Then, his wife “Sri” answered all queries and gave all the necessary timely suggestions. Once we liked the home, “Sri” also visited the home and provided more detailed information about the home. Amar meanwhile was personally involved in all the aspects and collaborated very well to get the disclosures, inspections and reviewed them with me in detail. Amar and Sri worked on the offer price which would win us the home and submitted an offer. Amar worked hard to win this. Once the offer was accepted, Amar and Sri walked through the next steps always ahead of time, starting from Loan, Insurance, Escrow to Closure. We are very thankful to Amar and Sri, without them home buying process would not have been any easier. We definitely would recommend Amar, Sri and their team for anyone who is looking to buy or sell their home as they stayed top of every activity during the whole process for perfect execution.

Amar and his team made all the steps of home buying experience a breeze . This was our first home in US, but he and his team worked with us educating us in the process . Right from pre approval to putting down the offer to closing the escrow and closing after due diligence at home inspection his team guides us through and arranged everything so home buying was a breeze. When we hear about our other friends putting offer at so many homes and not getting , I feel lucky to have found Amar who knew the market so knew what we exactly needed to do to get the offer , no less and no more . He also negotiated with the owners to the Max . We still cannot believe we are proud owners of a home just after a month of seriously being in the market and got the first home we put our offer on.

Here’s our scenario. We decided to sell our home expecting a home sale downturn in the near future and as we were planning to go back to India. We first spoke to a Redfin selling agent, who hurried us to place it on market asap without suggesting any modifications/house updates. We were skeptical and checked with another local agent (who is well known in our community). She/He did not sound very confident and hinted that there’s a possibility that we have to rent it out due to market being slow since the start of 2019. Fortunately, we remembered Amar from one of the Linked In posts and tried to give him a try as he has got multiple 5 star reviews from other home owners. He visited us and explained all the details about home selling and was patient in answering to all our concerns and questions. Even though we are a 2 bed 2 bath town home in a community that dominated with more than 3 beds, he took it up as a challenge and we never had to look back. When we decided to go with Amar, there are about 5 town homes (4 of which are 3 beds or larger) and without much traffic to them. As per Amar’s suggestions and our intuition we upgraded the home with the needed and made sure it’s comparable to a new home that are being sold nearby. Amar then discussed and convinced us on the price that made sense to any buyer who is searching for a home. With his extensive marketing skills, our town house was able to become a Hot Home on Redfin in just 3 days and many people visited in the first open house weekend. We got our first offer the mid of the week after and with his amazing negotiation skills he was able to get the home sold it for more than the listed price, where nearby homes are struggling to get offers for the listed price in a record time of 10 days. His steadfast execution didn’t stop there – he was able to close the escrow in the next 15 days and by the end of 28 days the home got closed without any issues and in a breeze. Even before handing over the keys, he noticed that the staging company made some dirt due to rains in the entrance and he himself cleaned it without complaints. I believe Amar will be a valuable agent to anyone looking to sell the home or buy a home in this every changing market in Bay Area. We sincerely thank Amar for achieve this home sale in record time and making it a breeze for us.

Amar and Sri helped us in getting our first home and made home buying a memorable experience. We started our home search this summer and made decision to go with Amar as he had amazing reviews on Zillow and Yelp. As a first-time home buyer, we were little nervous throughout the process. But Amar and his team explained us the whole home buying process very clearly. We are not easy people when it come to questions and clarifications but Amar and his team kept us amazed with their professionalism and dedication. On the day of bidding Amar made up a point to be at the seller’s real estate agent’s office to make all the negotiations. Amar’s team had been instrumental especially getting loan done within 21 days and providing us with best market rate available. We have heard stories from our friends about how it takes more than 6 months to get a home in Bay Area. I would say between meeting Amar and find our new home was all done within less than 1 month. I would highly recommend Amar and his team, if it was not for him we wouldn’t have been enjoying our new home. Overall, we are quite happy to work with Amar and Sri and we would definitely refer Amar and his team in future to all our acquaintances.

We were fortunate to find Amar and Sri for our home buying process. We were first time home buyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. As my wife was pregnant, we were in a desperate need to find a home to welcome our daughter and start a new life with her. It was such a crucial time for both of us but the entire process of home buying was priceless. We came to know about Amar from online reviews. We first had a one on one session with Amar (highly recommended) where he explained the entire home buying process to us. Sri was very much involved with the initial shortlisting and gave us reasons for choosing a property vs not choosing it. She gave several insights which we otherwise would have struggled to get. This included critical viewpoints of some houses which we shortlisted. After identifying our dream home within the first month, Amar and Sri put an aggressive offer to the seller on our behalf at a price we were very comfortable with. It was Seller’s first open house, they had many offers and weren’t entertaining anyone until they met the price they wanted. But Amar had the perfect strategy planned out to win. Amar and his team literally worked day and night to win us the offer by convincing the seller. Amar and Sri were personally involved in all areas like Escrow process, loan and to closing the deal. Their guidance was really helpful as not once we were skeptical about any decision that we took. They were always available any time of the day, whether after office hours or during weekends. I remember receiving emails at 4 am in morning with highly informative process updates. Thank you Amar, Sri and the team for helping us secure our dream home and start a new phase of our life with our daughter. I would highly recommend you to anyone I come across who is in need of a buying agent for their home. Once again, thanks a lot for all your efforts, we are proud owners of our dream home now.

The Extra Mile: That’s how we’d sum our experience with Amar. As a first time home buyer with a demanding job, purchasing a home seemed like a daunting task. We were amazed how Amar mastered knowing our needs in detail, and immediately found options that were perfect for us, both personally and financially. Within a month, we managed to make an offer, close, and move in to our first home. We’ve been thrilled with our choice ever since. Amar started with us from ground zero that is from getting pre-approval, introducing most sought out neighborhood in Menlo Park, showing the best schools in California, detailed information about the neighborhood like safety, what the neighborhood means for the kids. Amar connected me to loan officer, Jazzy singh, in his team, who was nothing short of stellar in assisting me in the loan process starting from pre-approval to closing the loan despite big obstacles with my specific situation, Amar and Jazzy worked hand in hand to resolve all the issues on time under stressful circumstances. Starting from making an offer, Amar thought through the whole thing very carefully, in spite of the property being in most sought out neighborhood and multiple offers on property for beyond the list price, he got the property $50k less than the list price, he got us the inspection with no cost done, went through the inspection reports and educated how it can be taken care, if it is not for his education and getting 80% discount ($8000) on the termite, we might have lost the property thinking the cost of fixing is enormous. Amar went an extra mile to not only to get the $50K less on the list price under multiple offer situation, but he negotiated to pay a few thousand dollars by the seller, he saved thousands of dollars at the every step of closing the escrow. He worked with loan officer to get $7000 credit. Above that he lined up other things for me like getting the termite done with mere $2500, where the same would’ve coasted $10,500, and also getting other inspections done without me physically there. He not only saved thousands of dollars in the whole transaction but also time, that way I was able to take care of personal life and yet got the best deal of the life. Amar is enthusiastic, energetic, powerful person, with exceptional negotiating expertise, excellent knowledge about the real-estate, and he has huge network of people, which is required to get the steal of a deal, it is like buying a house from Costco or whatever is you favorite whole-seller. Amar is one stop shop for home buying and owning and I will recommend him for anyone. Thank you so much Amar
